We have decided to try to sell 3 of our boer wethers (castrated males). They are 8 months old and weigh around 70lbs. We just don’t want to feed them through the winter.

New Old Heater
Last winter I had a problem keeping my chicken water nipples thawed. I either had to use a hair dryer or a diesel space heater to thaw them. This year we are going to put up this propane heater I found on Craigslist and try to keep it just above freezing. I have some other things I’ll have to do and will update the page as I do those.
The Prodigal Turkey Returns
A week and a half ago either a predator invaded my turkey pen or they tried to make escape. I found 1 dead and 3 outside the pen. I was able to get 2 of them back in but the 3rd took off into the corn field. I got to the farm this morning and found my top netting caved in. Everything looked ok so I counted the birds. I had 13 now. The one that had been out in the field had broke back in.
Eggs Making a Comeback
We had a slow summer when it comes to eggs. Some days we got 3 eggs. Last night we got 16 chicken eggs and one duck. Yes we eat duck eggs. Excited to have new hens coming on and hopefully get even more eggs.
Goat Fence Shifting
Moved the goat fence a little today and took a picture showing the difference.
Mice in a Bag
Well my sister left an empty bag in the feed room and look what she caught!
New Bottle Racks
Well I ordered some goat bottle racks from Premier 1 Supply. In the picture with the goats drinking they are actually installed incorrectly. In the next picture I have them correctly installed. Should save me a little time and aggravation.
